- Exploratory Data Analysis in Power BI
## Traditional Course Outline
1. Initial Exploratory Data Analysis in Power BI - You’ll begin this Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) course by learning how to use descriptive statistics and identify missing data, and apply imputation techniques to fill the gaps in your data.
2. Distributions and Outliers - In the second chapter of this course you'll learn how to identify and address outliers within the dataset. You will build histograms to analyze distributions and use winsorizing to remove outliers.
3. EDA with Categorical Variables - Now it’s time to explore the relationships between categorical variables using proportions. You’ll then use box plots and descriptive statistics to determine how a continuous variable is influenced by a categorical one.
4. Relationships between Continuous Variables - In the final chapter, you’ll dive into scatter plots to analyze the relationship between two continuous variables and calculate the correlation coefficient.

FAQs
What is Power BI?
Power BI is a business intelligence platform that allows you to connect to and visualize your data to derive insights for your business and create clear stories using your data. It's a Microsoft product, so it connects to Office and Azure easily and fits well with most business packages.
Do I need a Power BI license?
All of our courses are interactive with the Power BI experience in-browser. No additional licensing or downloads are necessary.
What prior knowledge of Power BI do I need?
A basic understanding of Power BI is necessary to be successful in this course. Introduction to Power BI is a prerequisite.
What is Exploratory Data Analysis?
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) involves using statistical techniques and visualization methods to understand the structure and main characteristics of a dataset. The goals of EDA include answering questions, testing business assumptions, generating hypotheses for further analysis, and preparing the data for modeling. This process helps analysts develop a good intuition about the data, identify patterns, and spot any challenges such as missing values or outliers.
Why EDA in Power BI?
By utilizing Power BI to apply EDA concepts, one will be able to quickly analyze data without a programming language.
